      It means that you cannot access a file with a URL but must use a filesystem path. A snippet or plugin is using an ambiguous path to an include file, most likely. Check line 2 of the offending snippet or plugin and make sure it’s using a proper path. Perhaps simply adding ./ to the beginning of the path string will suffice.

        Thanks for the reply Scott. I am not sure this is the issue. This started happening literally out of nowhere. I only access this portion of my site (the manager side at least) once every 3-4 days and this problem started 3 days after my last change (which was adding a page by duplicating an old one and changing the necessary values). I have not touched any of my snippets or plugins in a few months. To be honest, I am only using 2-3 custom snippets and 0 custom plug-ins. I only use the ModX portion of the site to display clients wedding videos so it did not need a lot of customization. And as I said, this started out of the blue.

        Any suggestions?

          I bet you are right. I informed them about the problem and now it is working like normal. So it was not ModX’s fault nor mine! Yippee!
